Key collaboration with RESPIN

In June 2026, Biodiversa+ and RESPIN joined forces as key collaborators. Together, they are boosting the engagement of various actors in IPBES and IPCC processes.

RESPIN stands for REinforcing Science-Policy INterfaces for integrated biodiversity and climate knowledge and policies. It works to assess experiences and guide countries towards the development of science-policy interfaces.

RESPIN supports the integrated provision and use of IPBES and IPCC processes and outputs, and empowers decision-makers at different levels across the globe to uptake the knowledge and capacity-building provided by IPBES and IPCC. The project identifies knowledge gaps and develops strategies to address them. It also improves the engagement of diverse knowledge holders with a particular focus on underrepresented regions in Central Africa, Central Asia, and Latin America.

Biodiversa+ and RESPIN are collaborating on factsheets and policy briefs, helping to disseminate both IPBES and IPCC outputs and project results to experts and/or policy makers. They carry out capacity-building activities, such as the 8th Pan-European Stakeholder Consultation (PESC) for IPBES, enabling knowledge holders to engage with IPBES and IPCC.

They are working together on strengthening connections with the business sector. The workshop “Toward Nature-Positive Finance – Scientific Foundations for Action”, an EU Green Week 2026 partner event, was co-organised for that purpose, alongside other partners.
